Liga MX referees reportedly threatening to strike if league hands out short suspensions

The league's officials are expecting tough sanctions on Enrique Triverio and Pablo Aguilar after they made contact with referees in Copa MX matches.

Mexican referees have had enough.

According to a report in Record, officials are threatening to take drastic action if strong punishment isn't handed down to a pair of players who were sent off for making contact with referees during Wednesday's Copa MX Round of 16 games.

Should their terms not be met, the referees plan to strike with the intention of causing the league to miss matches, according to the report.
